Jream
Meaning
variant of Dream, the English word used as a name
The story
Jream is the word dream with its initial letter traded for a J, and Behind the Name files it exactly that way: a variant of Dream, the English word for what the mind sees while sleeping, or a hope, or a wish. The records date the experiment precisely: no appearance in the published record before the 2000s, about 17 girls that decade, about 290 in the 2010s, and about 2,200 so far in this one, already several times the whole prior total, with a boys' line alongside, about 560 so far this decade. Word names are usually older than they look; this one is exactly as young as it looks. A dream spelled so no one mistakes it for a common noun, which is, in its way, the entire point of a name.
